I seem to have lost all my previous 5* reviews posted by fellow authors on this novel. An Amazon purge or glitch.  So I thought I might as well give it away for free for a few days in hope I get some nice reviews... I'll surely clock a fair few negatives, which is par for the course... …

Romantic Friday Writers hold fortnightly challenges, and every post must must have an element of romance. It can be merely a hint of romance, intended romance, full-on romance, and the challenge is having to abide to a prompt. It might be a worded or image prompt: either way you can post a snippet from a novel that fits the prompt. You can write a piece of flash fiction or a poem. This week's challenge is A Romantic Picnic in no more than 400 words. So, how good are you at honing your work?…

Also live on Monday Venetian Encounter, which is a Romantic Georgian Murder Mystery set in Naples and Venice. The latter at Carnivale.

If you're a secret fan of "Forever Amber" and or the "Angelique" novels you'll love this one. It's also available on US Amazon.…

Writing flash-fiction by my reckoning, is the best means for any writer to learn the art of honing one's work and making every word count!  Even when a snippet is extracted from a novel for purposes of becoming an excerpt, impact is key. That excerpt is supposed to help sell your novel. It has to convey essence of the book's content. "But that's easy" you might say, "I'll select a thrilling or sexy bit."  OK, one or the other or both might capture a reader's attention, and just for that…

Can you believe it, people have started tagging this novel as medieval when it states it is a 17th century setting. I couldn't believe readers are that ignorant of history. So I'm wondering if I need to replace the cover. Out of the two, the colourful one depicting fashions of the era, which is best? …

It's due release next month: July.

Finally it's up after a blip with Amazon... For some "unknown" reason the formatting on their "sample read" messed up. They have apologised, profusely!!! 

This is the novel Choc-Lit turned down: the one and only publisher I subbed it to...Not that I mind one bit. It's a bodice-ripper in the old sense of the word, yet set against a real backdrop with real people featured alongside imaginary characters.    My other historical novels (none submitted to publishers) have done "so…

I am so pee'd off by a publisher rip off!!!!!

I bought a Nora Roberts book Kindle edition: didn't really look at the price in assumption it would be the cheapest deal. Like hell it was.

Kindle: £9.49 -

Paperback: £6.29 -

Hard cover: £12.39

Mainstream Publishers are doing themselves no favours in trying to coin it from cheap to produce…

Bloomesbury have set up a new imprint for "old voices new hats" and new voices yet to gain a Bloomesbury hat/bonnet!

Quote: The books in Bloomsbury Circus will be mostly fiction, unashamedly literary, always fresh and sometimes surprising. In its first year, we will publish nine titles and from there the list will grow to up to four each month.…

I've really posted this because I didn't want the cover of my novel to remain "in your face" so to speak.

Nevertheless, are you keen on browsing images for writer stimulation?

If you were given the following as a project writing medium what might it inspire for you.…
